The lower operating pressures of black powder are a good choice in these rifles anyway. Germany and France were only just starting to understand smokeless powder at that time and the steel industry was still experimenting with different steels to use in these new rifles. Only a dozen years before the receivers would have been iron, and the 1888 itself is an entirely experimental rifle.

What load are you building for that rifle?

I do reloading ammo. I use brass case 8x57JS and mold for Gew.88 from BuffaloArms ( .319" 220 Grain Round Nose Gas Check 2-Cavity Bullet
Mould)

I hate it that I missed this excellent post until now. Your rifle and your bp handloads are excellent. I subscribed to your youtube channel. I look forward to watching all of your videos when I can. You have some amazing stuff in your list of videos. The Werndl I believe was a topic of interest just recently when member Zeebill had a chance to see one go up for bid in a local auction.
